Bug Description

I don't know if it is the right package against which I opened the bug report.
Unfortunately, under the new Ubuntu version 21.04, it is not possible to share windows of many applications in videoconferences (due to Wayland?). This is a big problem considering that many in the current pandemic work in videoconferences on a daily basis.

This is a limitation of the app or browser you are using, not mutter or Wayland. Which app are you using?
